The chance of thunderstorms will increase June 26, so residents should expect another day of Code Orange ozone. Rain and thunderstorms are even more likely with Code Yellow air quality expected.

A Code Orange air quality forecast for ozone is a level of pollution that can be unhealthy for groups such as young children, elderly, and those with heart and or respiratory conditions.
